SERIES XXVII
3′ (6 boxes)
3′ (2 oversize boxes)
DATES
1962-68
This series consists of a collection of largely 8 by 10 black and white photographs of Governor Chafee at various functions as governor. Some of the photographs have been identified, some are identified by including them in a folder with a general title, such as “Chafee in groups” or Ceremonies: Groundbreaking,” etc. The photographs are grouped according to general subject and arranged alphabetically.
This series also includes two oversize boxes of photographs. Some of these photographs are mounted on mat board and were used in campaign advertisements. Of interest is a photograph showing Governor Chafee at Rome Point on land that was eventually given to the state of Rhode Island by the Narragansett Electric Company and designated the John H. Chafee Preserve (230 acres) in his memory in 2001. In 1953 Narragansett Electric had bought the land with an interest in building one of the first nuclear powered plant in New England. Chafee had opposed the plan–as well as others such a plan for an oil refinery on the north end of Jamestown and a liquified natural-gas storage facility on Prudence Island–proposals which would have drastically altered the face of Rhode Island.
The two oversize boxes also contain a photograph album of the Governors’ Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota, July 25-29, 1965, in addition to seven framed pictures.
